Y. — Small town patronage. Let's Be Fashionable, with Douglas MacLean and Doris May. — While this is a good comedy, it is hardly in the same class as 23^ Hours Leave by the same stars, and does not make the same kind of a hit. — C. E. Johnson, Paramount theatre, Gibbon, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Love Special, with Wallace Reid. — Reid and Theodore Roberts certainly are a good combination in this type of picture.

Very seldom he scores under 90%. — Giacoma Bros., Crystal theatre, Tombstone, Ariz. — General patronage. The Foolish Age, with Doris May. — This is a good little comedy-drama.
